Sergio Aguero is the latest man to have beaten Cech from 12 yards, scoring Manchester City's second on Sunday.

That was the second penalty Cech has faced this season, Troy Deeney having netted previously for Watford, and he saw nine slip past him in 2016-17.

He also failed to keep two out in his debut campaign, with Jamie Vardy and Lionel Messi converting in Premier League and Champions League competition.

Of the efforts he has conceded, only three have come as part of a losing cause – against Barcelona in February 2016, Tottenham in April 2017 and against Watford.

Cech cannot shoulder the blame for that, but he will need no reminding that his last penalty save came way back in October 2014 against Maribor and that he has failed to get anything to a Premier League spot-kick since keeping out Fulham's Clint Dempsey in February 2011 - 19 efforts ago.
